Everyone has a little different way, but I've had luck with Liquid Wrench (penetrating oil, not the spray) and a hair dryer. Put on the oil, let it sit, blast it with the hair dryer a bit, see if it comes loose. If not, keep repeating. Sometimes I'll get a toothbrush and try to loosen some of the gunk too. Also, I've found one of those flat rubber jar openers helpful for getting a good grip on things.
